Ponies Around the World has come to a close! We got a whole pile of entries, so it will be a two post thing.

It's really amazing how spread out we are. I think every single major monument, and hundreds of small ones were hit at least once each. We have everything from the Coliseum, to the Great Wall of China.

Suddenly I really want to travel...

Anyway, check the first half out after the break! I'll toss part two up with the rest of them tomorrow once we finish processing them all.

(Note: The people that did not include a source link may see a bug if you click your name. It's something we are working on for the next competition, along with less random spaces! )

is difficult to see the monument in the back, but is truly the cibeles plaza of madrid, it is tradition for spaniards of the capital to go there to celebrate soccer victories, and the day of the victory against the italians was the perfect excuse for applejack to go to try spanish cider

i don't really know what to put here.
soooooooo...
i'm an aspiring artist about all ponies.
i have submitted quite a few things to the draw friends and even though they are nearly the correct quality they never get in.
i hope to finally get recognized and maybe a few watchers on my deviant art.

This is Joseph Strauss, chief engineer of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

the plaque at the base of the statue refers to the Golden Gate bridge as "The eternal rainbow" and seeing that it is San Francisco, a city that's well associated with rainbows, we decided that it would only make sense to put Rainbow Dash besides him, as a possible representation of the rainbow he conceived.

The statue resides on the San Francisco side of the bridge. Joseph however, stares into the city and the ocean.

Taken during a BONC - (Bronies of Northern California http://mlpf.im/bonc) meetup

This is a photo of my Twilight Sparkle brushable taken at the Halifax Town Clock, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. This landmark is located near the National Historic Site of Fort George, a star-shaped citadel fort that is a major Canadian tourist attraction.

Rarity at the Molly Brown House. Margaret Brown, AKA The Unsinkable Molly Brown, was a millionairess who lived here in Denver. She's most well known as being one of the 710 survivors of the RMS Titanic disaster.

I realize I am only allowed two submissions, but I do not want to waste two on similar images. There is another shot from this day featuring my ponies in front of only the Sunsphere in my gallery. If you would prefer to use that as my entry rather than the skyline feel free to swap them. My second entry will be of a waterfall. So, my intent is to have one Knoxville entry and one waterfall entry. Feel free to crop, rotate, brighten, dim, or alter this image in any way.

Rainbow Dash is flying over Rockefeller Center in New York, USA. In the background is the Empire State Building and a bit further down is the new World Trace Center. Picture taken during BronyCon Summer 2012.

Rainbow Dash is flying over Rockefeller Center in New York, USA. She notices a fire in the distance and quickly becomes the hero New York needs. The picture is facing Uptown New York. Picture taken during BronyCon Summer 2012.

As the dark tempest consumed the skies of Vancouver and the rainy gale shrouded the land, Rainbow Dash turned away from the DHX building and thought to herself, "Gee whiz, that sure is one snazzy building."

The photo was shooted in the amusement park ''Phantasialand'' in Germany. In the background you can see the coaster ''Black Mamba'' and the Hotel ''Matamba''. By the way, twilight was also on the coaster ;)

Pardon the straw, I can't show any part of myself when taking pictures like this one. Since Rarity is the #1 fashionista in Ponyville and Equestria, what better way then to take her to one of the fashion capitals of the world; Paris, France (Ponyfied- Prance).

Do you know who JP Patches was? Probably not. I'll just tell you right now. The best clown ever, that's who. Back in the seventies when clowns didn't have to be ironic slasher parodies of themselves, and could actually do what they do best. Entertain millions of children. He had a really long running improv TV series, and ran around being amazing.

Taken while visiting Kearney Nebraska on a job interview (I got the job). Inspired by the 2011 competition, but done too late for entry that year.

http://www.dvandom.com/images/windpony2.JPG shows them standing on the plaque that explains the wind sculpture. http://www.sheldonartmuseum.org/education/I-80/works.html has more information on the various Nebraska Bicentennial sculptures.

I'm studying abroad in Paris right now, and who better to bring along to explore Europe with me than Pinkie Pie! She's partied hard at several of the monuments, and this is her at the Arc de Triomphe. Notice how she does not giving a flying buck about physics. (Disregard the hand.)

Taken at a high school band trip which has a narrly brony group in it. we sang smile smile smile in line at mceds getting some pony toys. i bout 4 2 for my friend prosper58's b-day one for me and one for my friend beardface. it would hav been the best weekend of my life if i didnt loose cheerilee on a stupid log ride.

Forgot the original toy I was going to use back home in Norway so I had to do an emergency shopping in Germany and found fortunately a store that carried Pony toys. An army of Pinkie Pies waited on one shelf, so I grabbed one and had her pose before the Hermannsdenkmal.

As a student of science, friendship, and magic, what's not for Twi to like about an educational theme park dedicated to future technology and international brotherhood with a little Disney magic thrown in for good measure?

I made this pic a few days after the first "Ponies around the world" event in Equestria Daily. We had our first brony Meetup in Austria thanks to that Event. And now we are about 200 people. So thank you very much for giving us a reason the make our first step =)

Anyway yeah i missed the first "Ponies around the world" and now I just hope I can be in the second one.
Greetings,
Pinkie Shy

Another picture from "Road Trot" Ironically Highway 50 is laid almost exactly along the same line as the legendary Pony Express! Today there are stretches of over 100 miles of desert between towns on this route. Gas up!

Talk about living the dream! George and Sarah Joslyn were the wealthiest couple in Nebraska back in 1913, so they did what any filthy rich person should: they built their own castle. Joslyn Castle, 3902 Davenport Street, was built in the Scottish Baronial style and is just as stunning inside as out. Chandeliers, rare woods, cast bronze, stained glass, a conservatory - and the grounds are fenced in elaborate wrought iron.

There is a stereotypical shot of Omaha, taken from the Gene Leahy Mall, of the skyline. It features the Woodmen Tower flanked by two smaller, red-brick buildings, with the shining glass shoulders of the First National Tower just off to the right. But if you turned around and looked east, you would see this elegant, faded sign painted on the side of a narrow, 130-year-old bank building.

I and my wife are medical students and recent newlyweds and we bring Dashie and Pinkie on all our adventures! I have a backlog of pictures to go through but I like this one the best. Oh you also can catch our BronyCon experience when the Brony Documentary is released. Finally I also run askscrewloose.tumblr.com and thats where I post most of my drawn arts.

I took this picture during our Winter wrap up meet-up. This is the view of the whole city! Also the "DeviantArt gallery is Our Montreal Bronies group which i upload all my pictures and memories there. And this will greatly help find more bronies :3

I figured you would get a couple of pictures of the CN tower, and other Torontonian landmarks, so I thought Honest Ed's was a great idea. It was in Scott Pilgrim! There was a whole fight sequence there!

Taken from the Calgary Tower. Approximate height is ~525 feet or 160 meters above street level.

You can find the original creator of the pony used here: http://dragon620026.deviantart.com/art/Queen-Chrysalis-306811257
Much credit goes towards Dragon620062, she is truly a marvelous customs creator.

My a cappella group did a spring exchange program in Denmark. While I was out getting stuff to bring, I came across Pinkie Pie--my first G4 pony. I haphazardly styled her hair with a bobby pin and brought her along. I wanted to get her around to all the sites, but, unfortunately, that never happened. This is from the first tour bus trip. Enjoy!

I go mostly by EquusStorm these days, but hosted the image on the 'ol dA account. I KNEW that PATW would be back someday and I was prepared, by taking this vacation shot! Now brb as I take a second shot from the courthouse square in downtown Jasper.

So many paths in the Everfree Forest! This one led to Manetree-all, which is mostly treeless. You'd think finding the way back to the edge of the Everfree would be easy... Fortunately this spry ass knew the way.

One of our fine places in Mexico, this marble beauty is where great artists have been presented, a gathering for culture, home to beautiful works of art, and the only thing Applejack told me was "Ain't that something?" I love that girl.

I put my real first name and last initial along with my preferred username in the name field. You should put more details on what you are looking for there.

Backstory for your enjoyment: After taking this picture a guy in a formal tux comes up to me and asks me to take a picture of him in front of the sculpture wearing a full out wolf mask while holding a violin. Of course being the open minded brony that I am I said yes. I did not feel so strange afterwards for taking a picture with a pony in front of the sculpture.

"Whoa Nelly! That there's the biggest fruit I ever done seen! I wonder what ponies grew this thing?
Maybe I could ask 'em what fancy growin' method's they use so I could do it to some of the tree's back at Sweet Apple Acres"
